A Dead Body?

Dylan Brooke was standing in all this glory at the entrance of the hall and Sandra blinked her eyes severally to be sure she wasn't mistaken.

Sandra was shocked that Dylan attended the premiere of her new movie because Dylan never attended one before so, why now?

Different thoughts started going through Sandra's mind and her uneasiness didn't escape two pairs of eyes and one of them was Galen.

Dylan walked into the room and people gaped at him in admiration. His three-piece gray suit fitted his body giving justice to his muscular body frame, his black hair was tousled nicely to the back, every step he took exuded preeminence and the people watch in awe.

The host quickly hurried to his side trying to curry favor with him but Dylan wasn't a bit bothered as his eyes traveled around the crowd to see that familiar face.

He was actually at the movie premiere not because he wanted to watch the movie he invested in but to see her and when his eyes landed on that hazel eyes that held questions in them he felt delighted.

Je walked towards her not caring about the host that was blabbering beside him and he was even more pleased to see her gauged at him in shock.

"Miss Sandra, "Dylan called with a teasing voice and Sandra almost curse at the domineering CEO but she held her tongue and instead she presented a half smile.

"Hi Mr. Brooke," Sandra greeted standing up from her seat and people around looked at them with question.

Why is the CEO that doesn't like anyone to be in his space greeting their nation's goddess warmly? Even though everyone has different clusters of questions none of them was ready to talk.

Sandra started feeling awkward with the different stares she was receiving and she decided to quickly mend the situation.

"We are delighted to have you here right director Jack," Sandra says quickly throwing the director under the bus so she could get herself free but her little actions were caught.

Director Jack is the director of the movie bless me Messiah and since he is the only person she could offer then she doesn't mind.

"Yes yes," director jack quickly grabbed the opportunity by engaging Dylan in a conversation on how they are glad they were to have him invest in his movie and had already started telling him about his next movie.

"Are we still watching the movie," Dylan's voice cut the director off and p

"Yeah sure, this way too..." the director was saying but Dylan got himself seated beside Sandra and the director got shocked.

Why is this man after my life why is he not leaving me alone, Sandra thought but with different troubled thoughts going on in her mind, she still keeps a smile.

"Looks like Mr. Brooke finds that place likable," Director jack joked and the people around laughed awkwardly.

After they all settled down and the movie was displayed on the movie screen instead of the excitement Sandra should feel about the premier she was more anxious about the man that his hands hasn't stayed with him and the problem was that Galen was sitting beside her.

Dylan's fingers kept scraping her skin and it looks like the man was enjoying himself but she felt like cursing him but she held it in.

The movie session continues and it got to a scenwherend a lot of people in the hall started damping their eyes with tears

The scene was about when the female lead shot the male lead father in front of him to get revenge for her family and at the time the movie recounted their happy memories together before the female lead leave the scene with tears also in her eyes.

It left a lot of people in agony because it must not be easy for the lead to choose revenge over love and since Sandra was an incredible actress she was able to convey the emotions of the story very excellently.

"You are indeed a good actress," Dylan complimented clasping Sandra's hand in his since the hall wasn't illuminated Sandra didn't push his hands away and her heart swell because of the gesture.

She can't lie that she was happy because she felt delighted. After all, that one man likes what she does, Galen noticed the movement that was going in between the two people but he ignored it and acted as if nothing was happening.

After the movie ends the hall erupts into loud applause but Sandra doesn't move until she saw her name displayed at the end of the movie.

"Wow that was amazing," People started praising and the cast of the movie was delighted to hear people's praise.

Dylan looked at Sandra and his eyes were filled with love and respect.

"Mr. Brooke we are happy that you are here and we are hoping if you don't mind we would love to invite you to the dinner party later," the director announced trying his luck knowing the cold CEO might reject it.

Everyone in the hall looked at Dylan in anticipation and when he was about to answer, his phone vibrated and he quickly picked it up.

"Hello, boss," the person on the other side greeted his tone grave.

"Speak away, "Dylan replied in a cold voice but he senses the worry in the person's time.

"Madam was attacked," the person reported and Dylan felt tensed immediately.

His brain didn't process the details immediately and when the information sinks in his aura grow colder and the temperature felt more chilly and people around him cower in fear.

"I'm coming," that was the curt reply he gave the person before he hung up.

Sandra noticed his tense mood after receiving the call and the urgency on his face showed that there was some kind of trouble and before her brain could work, her mouth already helped out.

"I am very sure that Mr. Brooke is very busy so he won't be able to join, right Mr. Brooke?"Sandra glanced at him giving him an understanding look to run along and he nodded and those gestures didn't escape someone's eyes.

"I will go," Dylan says not saying anything more and he took hurried steps out of the hall.

"Looks like he got my gift away," a person watching Dylan scurried out of the hall and he smirked wickedly.

The hall went back to the cheering mood and people started socializing with themselves the director was busing showing Sandra around to different proud so he could gather investors.

"Wow the nation's goddess looks good from behind look at the side hips, "one of the men in the hall comment lewd words about Sandra that was busy socializing with the guests, and Galen that was behind the man's blood boils boiler.

"Didn't have desires about her she is unreachable she is like a star in the sky," another man commented and they both burst into laughter, Galen looked at the man that was busy laughing and sighed.

He pondered on what they said, she was really out of reach, he thought sadly retracting her eyes from her.

Sandra decided to excuse herself from the crowd worried about what could have caused Dylan to be that troubled.

She went into the restroom hurriedly her feels clanking after her, she contemplated whether to call him or not but after a long time she decided to against and she washed her hands trying to leave the restroom but she met someone on her way.

"You!!!"...

After Sandra left the restroom she makes her way back to the hall but she bumped into someone.

"I am so sorry Galen," Sandra apologized cleaning the cloth of the man she just ruined but he held her hands.

"It's fine it's not like you did it on purpose," Galen says dropping her hands and Sandra let out an embarrassed chuckle.

Sandra looked at Galen that was busy nudging his stained cloth and she decided to address what transpired at her house the other time.

"Galen the other day at my place ....," Sandra was saying but she got cut off.

"Ate you two. dating?"Galen asked his voice almost breaking even though he doesn't know why.

The question caught Sandra by surprise because even she doesn't know if they are dating or not.

Her breath felt constricted wondering what she was going to tell him.

"Galen it is.....,"

"Ahhhhhhh!!!!" a scream filled the hall interrupting Sandra and the joyful mood.

Everyone rushed to the source of the loud shriek in panic and they met a lady curled up in fear with dread in her eyes looking at something.

When the people got the view of what she saw they almost puke. It was a body drowned in a pool of blood.

"Oh, my God!!!!"Sandra exclaimed looking at the horrid scene in front of her.

A dead body????
